Daily ToYoTA: Bob Barker: “Now you’ve had enough…bitch”
I spent far too much time over the weekend browsing clips from The Price Is Right in an attempt to find a worthy post to honor Bob Barker’s retirement. (There’s a whole army of people who like to post TPIR clips). I actually do want to keep up with this daily [Read More]
Nifong
I don’t want to regurgitate my vitriol related to the Duke Lacrosse saga. Mike Nifong is out. Finally. Good. But, personally, the whole saga reflects far more poorly on Duke than it is does on Nifong or the Durham Police or the City of Durham. I’ve already said [Read More]
Yummm…those sandwiches at Alivia’s sound delicious…

Life in photos
I just updated my “50+ Views” Flickr set, which now has 51 photos. Without making any concerted attempt to present my life in pictures, the “50+” set is a somewhat diverse set (if you discount the fact that 80% of the photos are of my pets). [Read More]
Mr. Wizard dead at 89
Don Herbert, 89; TV’s ‘Mr. Wizard’ taught science to young baby boomers – Los Angeles Times I used to watch Mr. Wizard on Nickelodeon in the mid-80s. He was kind of like Mr. Rogers, without all that make-believe b.s. :) [Read More]
Kudos to Fox News! Seriously…
Kudos to Fox News, because they (Your World with Neil Cavuto) gave venerable Dan Rather eight minutes to elaborate on how he feels about the state of televisions news. Rather had been hammered by CBS honcho Les Moonves for saying that CBS had “tarted up” the [Read More]
